Summary of DIY Smart Dustbin With Arduino
This article explains how to build a Smart Dustbin using an Arduino Uno and an ultrasonic sensor. The device detects when an object approaches, then automates the dustbin lid via a servo motor. Key steps include creating a plastic circle lid, installing the ultrasonic sensor, programming the Arduino, wiring the circuit with a 9V battery, fixing the servo motor to the lid, and connecting it all with a string and metal washer for actuation.
Parts used in the Smart Dustbin project:
- Arduino Uno
- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Servo Motor
- Plastic Sheet
- Dustbin
- 9 Volt Battery
- String
- Metal Washer
- Scotch Tape/Plastic Tape
- Glue
Here we will make a Smart Dustbin by using arduino and ultrasonic sensor.
I hope you guys enjoy learning this project.
Supplies:
Arduino Uno
Ultrasonic Sensor
Servo Motor
Dustbin
Step 1: Preparing the Opening
Take a plastic sheet and cut fraw a circle with the help of dustbin and but it off from plastic sheet and then cut the circle in half and join them again with the help of scotch tape or plastic tape.
Step 2: Place the Ultra Sonic Sensor
Place the ultra sonic sensor in the dustbin as shown in the picture and move on to the next step.
Step 3: Programming
Connect the arduino and upload the given program on your arduino uno and place the arduino in the dustbin with the help of double tape and move on to the next step.
Step 4: Wiring
Now Place the 9 Volt Battery and Wire the circuit as shown in the picture above and then move on to the next step.
Step 5: Place the Plastic Circle
Now Place the Plastic circle that we had cut in the second step and and glue the half circle on the dustbin and take the servo motor and place it on the circle with fix it with the help of some glue as shown in the pictures.
Take a string and a metal Washer and tie a not with the string as shown in the picture and make an hole and pass it through the plastic circle and again tie a not with servo motor.
